About a week ago I had sex with someone who said they are clean and i used a new razor. the next day i got my period and maybe a day later i experienced pain while wiping and slight itchiness as the days went on. Now I have these bumps and i cant tell if they are razor bumps/ingrown hair or maybe Folliculitis or herpes. Can someone please give me an honest opinion of what they think it might be. i no longer feel pain when i wipe but their will be an itchiness here and there. The ones on the crease of my thighs seem to be the worst looking ones imageimageimage

    they look like razor irritation to be honest. quick question, do you have acinthosis nigrocins? my upper thighs and around my vulva is darker like yours as well.
